This volume was better than the first. I like the pacing of the story; it flows like real life. This is shaping up to be a favorite series.

Pour commencer l'année 2023; j'avais envie de me relire quelque chose que j'aime, une lecture doudou.
Alors, clairement, ce manga ne peut techniquement pas entrer dans cette catégorie réellement, parce que on parle notamment de suicide. Mais c'est une lecture très nostalgique pour moi.
Je l'avais découvert à un moment assez compliqué pour moi, et bizarrement, j'étais tombée totalement amoureuse de l'histoire, malgré la difficulté, malgré les personnages dont je ne supporte pas forcément ce qu'ils.elles disent/font.
Et malgré les défauts, malgré ce que moi, je n'aime pas...
C'est toujours un coup de coeur. Je suis toujours amoureuse.
Mon avis n'a pas changé. Je n'aime toujours pas les mêmes choses. Et j'adore toujours les mêmes choses.
Je ne peux pas le recommander à tout le monde, au vu des sujets. Mais si vous pouvez gérer les cw, n'hésitez pas !

To start the year 2023; I wanted to re-read something I like, a cuddly reading.
So, clearly, this manga cannot technically fit into this category really, because we are talking about suicide in particular. But it's a very nostalgic read for me.
I had discovered it at a time that was quite complicated for me, and oddly, I had fallen totally in love with the story, despite the difficulty, despite the characters of whom I don't necessarily support what they say/do.
And despite the flaws, despite what I don't like...
It's always a crush. I'm still in love.
My opinion has not changed. I still don't like the same things. And I still love the same things.
I cannot recommend it to everyone, given the subjects. But if you can handle the cws, don't hesitate !

The bittersweet girl's manga continues, with our main character Ann in her fifteenth year. Big changes are coming, with high school, the return of her father and teh revelation that she has another admirer.

Very emotional, touching and wholesome. Brought me close to tears several times. Pretty realistic, although some of the problems are outdated (Daigo needing to get a part-time job to afford calling Ann long distance). Ann's friends seem like delinquents, buying her condoms for her 16th birthday instead of an actual thoughtful gift; this was a pretty thoughtless "gift" considering Ann and Daigo had not had sex and weren't planning to yet. Fuji is a total jerk, kissing Ann without her consent, knowing she has a boyfriend (his friend!). I hate Fuji for this, but it's certainly realistic, and I don't hold it against the story, although I'm not a fan of this plot. I am not sure if I'll enjoy the next volumes as much, if Fuji is going to keep being a villain, and especially if Ann considers him romantically.

I KNEW IT, I KNEW IT, I CALLED THE LOVE TRIANGLE!
This series feels like it's really set itself up to be angsty and dramatic and truth be told, while I don't mind that, I'm really at a loss for where I think this might be going, especially given the way the series opened.

Ahh, this volume was just adorable and skips as Ann and Daigo have a long distance relationship, but her heart is conflicted.
